THE KILT
OCTOBER 29, 1957

Dear Pam:

   I am in a slow class and get bored to death going over everything so often. What shall I do?
                    
Bored Bertha

Dear Bored Bertha:

   If you really know the work that is being repeated for students who haven't caught on, ask your teacher if you may undertake an extra project to keep you occupied. There is too much to be learned in ever subject to allow yourself to become bored.

   Latin Club elected officers during its last meeting. President is Bonnie Boone, Vice President, JoAnn Ross, Secretary, Judy Reding, Treasurer, Jimmy Moll, Chaplain, Joyce Gillingham. A historian will be voted on at the next meeting, which will be the third Wednesday in November.

********************

   The Glee Club is really off to a good start. Not only with singers, but lyric writers, too.

   The other day as the club was singing Return to Sorento, Mrs. Weidley asked that a verse be repeated. Several members said it didn't sound right to sing the same words twice, so Mrs. Weidley suggested they write new verses. This they did, and some pretty good ones, too.

   The talented lyric writers are Shirley Smith, Bob Reynolds and Joanne Engle.

SCADS OF FADS

   New slumber party hits are "Pop Pajamas", with the uniform number of your football hero on the back. You can put the numbers on with iron-on tape.

   Drawing a dashound at the end of letter is back again. It means, "So Long!"

   The latest way of saying the party, evening, or romance is over, is "It's been a hunk of heaven, but I think I'll jump for earth."

   A new insult is, "Your mother must have bought you with green stamps."

   "What planet are you from?" means everybody but you knows.

   A cute definition of a hot-dog is, "The only animal that feeds the hand that bites it!"

Shirley Baldwin

7 - 1 ELECTS CHAIRMAN

   Jan Kyle is the chairman of the Magazine Drive for 7-1. Dan Rock will be his assistant.

   7-1 has high hopes of selling the most magazines. This same section set a record for the Red Cross Drive, and has the top Kilt salesman, Nathan Oxhandler, to set the pace.

Dear Pam:

   I like a certain boy very much. The only trouble is that he's going steady with my best friend. How can I win this boy and keep the friendship of the girl? 
                    
Miss Hopeful

Dear Miss Hopeful:

   Ever hear of cattle rustling and the punishment handed out for this crime? Keep your greedy little paws off the other girl's fellow! Of course, if he starts looking for a greener pasture, you might be slightly available.

********************

Dear Pam:

   I am in a lot of activities and like it, but I don't have enough time to study as much as I should. If I stop my activities I won't have as many friends and won't be in the right group.
                    
DumbFounded

Dear Dumbfounded:

   You'd better make a smart decision or you'll end up in the same grade indefinitely. In which case, your playmates will get younger and younger.

   What you need is more activity from the neck up, and I don't mean eating!

********************

Dear Pam:

   I'm in the ninth grade and have the palest skin of anyone I know. My mother won't let me wear any make-up but lipstick. What shall I do?

Dear Paleface:

Go weed the garden and get a suntan.
